Although residents enjoy the quality of life that reasonable housing, diverse education options and wide-ranging business opportunities create, there is a lighter side to the Orlando area. Between the excitement of internationally known theme parks and the sublime relaxation of natural Florida, Orlando has a park to keep any pace.

The area’s most famous resident resides in the sprawling Walt Disney World Resort in the Lake Buena Vista area. Each year the resort welcomes millions of visitors to their four theme parks, two water parks and the myriad entertainment, shopping and dining options available. Florida residents receive a number of benefits at the resort including discounts on tickets, rooms and special events.

Located within Orlando, the Universal Orlando Resort with Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure provide thrills and entertainment for all ages. In addition, SeaWorld and Shamu welcome visitors to experience the wonders of the sea with performances, rides and exhibits throughout the park.

A short jaunt to the west brings you to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and its safari themed park on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
